Day Five: Confusion and No Clear Direction

Economist Larry Kudlow:
"All of us in the free world owe Israel an enormous thank-you for defending freedom, democracy, and security against the Iranian cat's-paw wholly-owned terrorist subsidiaries Hezbollah and Hamas. Israel is doing the Lord's work. They are defending their own homeland and very existence, but they are also defending America's homeland as our frontline democratic ally in the Middle East."

Bush to Blair in privte conversation at the G-8:
"See the irony is that what they (the UN) need to do is get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit and it's over,"

Respected Military Analyst Ralph Peters:
"For all of the air-attacks on targets in Lebanon, the Israeli Defense Force has not sent in ground troops. If IDF tanks don't thrust across the border in force in the next few days, it will reflect the greatest crisis of will in Israel's history. Israel is signaling its enemies that it's afraid to risk its soldiers' lives. And the terrorists read the message clearly."
